Precision Optics for Semiconductor Inspection
Whether you are developing a next‑generation semiconductor inspection tool or optimizing an existing platform, we're the partner that companies trust to deliver the optical expertise and manufacturing discipline required to meet your performance goals.
High‑Resolution Optics for Wafer Inspection, Metrology, and Machine Vision
Semiconductor inspection systems demand exceptional image quality, stability, and repeatability. At LaCroix, we manufacture custom precision optics and imaging assemblies that support high‑resolution semiconductor inspection, wafer inspection, and machine vision applications—from early‑stage development through production programs.
With vertically integrated design, fabrication, coating, assembly, and inspection metrology, we help inspection equipment manufacturers reduce risk and maintain consistent optical performance at scale.
Semiconductor Inspection Applications
Our optics support inspection platforms where optical accuracy directly impacts yield and process control, including:
-
Wafer surface and defect inspection
-
Critical dimension (CD) and pattern inspection
-
Advanced packaging inspection
-
Semiconductor metrology and machine vision subsystems
Precision Optical Capabilities for Inspection Systems

Custom Optics Manufactured to Tight Tolerances
-
Aspheric and spherical lenses for high‑resolution imaging
